I create a new environtment for my backend for each commit, this environment have the PR number on the URL.

So I was hopping to create a template so that everytime someone creates a PR the text contains the URL for that enviroment, something like:

Im expecting to have a template pull_request_template.md like:

# How to test
Url: http://myurl-<PR-number>.myhost.com

And so everytime the PR 

# How to test
Url: http://myurl-123.myhost.com

Where 123 is the PR number

As illustrated in here and in this discussion, you can have and use multiple template files (adding ?template=MY_PR_TEMPLATE.md), but not one file with variable content.

In your case, that wouldn't work.

What might work is a Pull Request Action, which would add a label and/or message, with said message being the URL computed automatically from the PR number.
That GitHub Action would help updating any PR with an additional information: the URL you want.
